Simple idea: could we expect a good response from upstream to such a proposal:
 a. PG core-team is consulted to choose which major versions to distribute in 
debian stable when it's cooked
 b. PG core-team will not EOL a version still distributed in debian stable
 c. thanks to a debian packagers team helping on the matter

This would allow us to benefit from debian supporting e.g. 8.2 8.3 and 8.4 in 
squeeze, under PG core team full support.

Any chance this would fly?
